When I saw her runway photos from Balmain I fainted. She looked phenomenal, she was the goddess of the show.
 
Blasblog From Paris: Erin Wasson Makes A (Brief) Return To The Runway

March 6, 2009

Erin Wasson, the Texas supermodel and current Maybelline spokesperson, is cleverly building a brand for herself. After dabbling backstage for a few seasons, doing a body jewelry collection, and launching her clothing line with RVCA, the one-time model is nearly ubiquitous. Which brings us to Paris. Lest we forget Wasson was first a household name (well, in really fashionable houses, anyway) for actually modeling, her turn in yesterday’s Balmain show—which she closed—was a timely reminder of her humble catwalk beginnings. At the Purple magazine dinner that evening, she divulged she would be making one other strut while in Paris: the Isabel Marant show. “I wanted to get in, and I wanted to get out,” she said. “So I’m doing the two shows that Emmanuelle [Alt] is doing, and then launching my collection here on Saturday, and then getting out of town.” Not only does she not miss the panic of a week of shows, but she’ll be heading back to Texas for the SXSW music festival, which she says is like an annual homecoming. Returning to the runway wasn’t that hard, she admitted. “I’ve been to a few shows now, and I still feel weird not being backstage,” she sighed. “Especially at Alex [Wang]’s show. They had Hooters hot wings back there.”

I am what I am: Erin Wasson

- I’ve always been comfortable naked. I find clothes slightly unnecessary sometimes. They cover up what is so beautiful about us, all the quirks.

- My dad entered me into a modelling competition when I was 17. I didn’t want to be a model — I had a shaved head and tattoos. I’m covered in scars. Perfect is boring.

- I don’t like to feel tied down. In 2003, I bought a truck for $1,000 and spent five months on the road. I just needed to go where the wind blew me.

- Just because a boy tells you he loves you doesn’t mean you need to marry him. I married when I was 18. He was 28, the older man who said all the right things.

- I’m a total gypsy. I don’t unpack my bag because something can always happen. After two weeks in one place, I start getting the jitters.

- I’m sharp-tongued, I won’t let anyone mess with me. In fashion, you learn not to listen to people; they say one thing then do another.

- The poorest people have the best style — they don’t just walk into swanky stores and swipe. Money just makes you want and want and want. You forget it’s about the simpler things.

- A girl in a huge T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts looks much sexier than a girl in the dress and the heels. It shows more confidence if you can walk out the door in something frumpy.

- I like coffee, cigarettes and sun — my dermatologist hates me. The sun is my Prozac.
